Case Summary:

Xiaomi was founded in 2010 and launched its cellphone operating system "MIUI", which allows cell phone enthusiasts to participate in the development and provide feedback on cell phone systems, attracting a lot of phone users’ attention. The unique cell phone internet marketing model has prompted it to accumulate high visibility and influence for a short period of time.

Zhongshan Benteng Company and Zhongshan Mijia Company are the manufacturer and distributor in the home appliance industry. These two companies imitate Xiaomi's trademark, font, domain name, slogan, brand color, etc. in their marketing promotion activities.

In 2018, Xiaomi entrusted Unitalen Attorneys at Law to sue Zhongshan Benteng and Zhongshan Mijia for trademark rights infringement and unfair competition dispute before the Nanjing Intermediate People's Court in Jiangsu Province and won the first instance.

And then at the end of 2019, Xiaomi won the full victory after the Jiangsu Higher People’s announced the verdict of second instance.

The Court’s Ruling:

The Jiangsu Higher People's Court upheld the verdicts of the first instance, which found that:

1.Before Zhongshan Benteng applied for the trademark of "小米生活(Xiaomi Life)" on November 23, 2011, the registered trademark of "小米(Xiaomi)" of Xiaomi Company had been at the level of well-known status in Class 9 for "cell phone" products;

2.Zhongshan Benteng and other companies had stressed the use of their registered trademark "小米生活" in their business premises, websites, and alleged infringing products, which improperly manipulated the market reputation of Xiaomi's well-known trademark "小米", misleading the public and constituting trademark infringement;

3.Zhongshan Benteng and other companies in the business operations involved had imitated Xiaomi’s trademark, slogan, color combination, fan nicknames and other aspects, deliberately manufacturing the fuzzy connection with Xiaomi and its products, misleading consumers, improperly looting Xiaomi's business reputation, which violates the principle of good faith and constitutes unfair competition;

4.The verdict of the first instance ordering Zhongshan Benteng and other companies to compensate Xiaomi for economic losses of 50 million yuan is derived from sufficient facts and legal basis.

Typical Significance:

This case is a typical case in which punitive damage is applied, and it is also with the highest indemnity amount in all effective verdicts concerning domestic trademark infringement in the past three years! 　　

Case Summary :

As a world-renowned automobile company, Ferrari’s "躍馬”( ) graphic trademark has been protected by Chinese priority in Class 12 for "vehicles" and other products as early as 1995. In September 2012, Smart International applied for registration of the disputed trademark on services such as "computer software design" in Clases 42 and was approved to register in 2015.

In response to the disputed trademark, Ferrari filed for the invalidation declaration with the CNIPA against the "躍馬" graphic trademark and several other trademarks. In 2017, the CNIPA made a ruling and maintained the registration of the disputed trademark.

In response to this ruling, Ferrari filed the trademark administrative litigation with the Beijing IP Court, arguing that the "躍馬" graphic trademark constitutes well-known trademark on automobiles and other products, and the registration of the disputed trademark is an imitated copy of the "躍馬" graphic trademark. It is possible to mislead the public and damage the interests of Ferrari, which violates the provisions of Article 13, paragraph 3 of the 2014 Trademark Law, and the invalidation ruling should be revoked. Unitalen Attorneys at Law was entrusted by Ferrari to represent the case.

The Court’s Ruling:

The Beijing IP Court had recently issued the first verdict and the “躍馬” trademark registered by Ferrari Company in Class 12 for "vehicles" and other goods was recognized as a well-known trademark and the protection shall be extended across class to Class 42 "Computer Software Design" services. Therefore, the ruling of the CNIPA to maintain the registration of the disputed trademark in Class 42 was revoked.
